I used a larger portion of my third transfer on expanding my house because I had a small house that couldn't fit my family. Given that we have poor soil that is not conducive for smearing a house I plastered my house too so that it doesn't fall off hence I won't incur the cost repairing my house every time. I built a kitchen because it was hectic cooking in open air especially during rainy season. I also used part of the transfer to buy goats for rearing.

I spent my second transfer on buying livestock (a cow and three goat) at 30800 KES. I bought a bicycle at around 6500 KES that I use for my own transport and used the rest of the money on buying a few households.

I'm now at peace for owning a cow so I believe I'll soon be having enough supply of milk without spending any money after the cow has given birth. I also find it easy to fetch water from the lake since I have my own bicycle thus I do not have to borrow bicycle anymore from my neighbors. This is the biggest difference in my daily life.

I received my first transfer when we were starving-we never had food to eat and therefore when I received my first transfer, I spent half of it on food and rest on a solar panel. Since I acquired this solar panel, I have never been staying in the darkeness due to lack of money to buy paraffin as life used to be before then, charging phones has been easier too.

I received my money the moment we never had anything to eat or money to buy food-that previous night, we went to bed empty stomach and therefore when I checked my phone and realized that the money was from Give Directly, I felt very excited since we would buy food, eat and live a good health.
